Question

An amount of money is to be divided among x,y,z in the ratio of 4:9:16.if z get 300% more than x. What is y's share in it

Answer 1

4+9+16=29 parts

T=total amount

4/29*t=x equa 1

9/29*t=y equa 2

16/29*t=z  equa 3

• As given in question

z= 300% +x  equa 4  

• Putting equation 4 in equation 1

0.137*t=z-300  

• Putting value of z from equation 3 into above equation

0.55*t=0.137t+300  

t=726.9

• calculating value of x,y,z from equation 1,2 and 3

x=100.26%

z=401.0 %

y=225.5 %
